So funny you mention the “knocker-ups” EJ – I think we have some kind of telepathy going on. Hubby and I were just talking about that last night when deciding what to include in the next edition of How to Talk British. I about fell off my chair the first time someone over here offered to “knock me up” in the morning! Gahahaha! (p.s. – I love the old piccie! Brilliant!)

A mighty fine question indeed! I expect that the knocker-upper of all knocker-upper’s would knocker-up the knocker-upper. But of course you are still left with the question of who would knocker-up the knocker-upper of all knocker-uppers?
Could it be the knocker-upper of all knocker-uppers of all knocker-uppers? But here you see….same problem. Who would knocker-up the knocker-upper of all knocker-uppers of all knocker-uppers?

EXACTLY what I was thinking. You’d actually need a 24 hour rotating system of knocker uppers for it to work. You could probably employ a whole town just to wake each other up so they in turn could wake each other up again. A knocker-upper economy? Could work? Weirder things have!
… I am having a drink lol!
(Really enjoying your blog btw)

An interesting note. I didn’t know it was a common practice but I have a book titled, The Wheelwright’s Shop, and it tells about there being a ‘knocker up’ for the mill employees. The book is about building wagons in early England and would be of interest to older men but not as appealing to women as correct flower arranging.
